bushing is stepped and the Rear Bracket will not sit flat against the washer, (Figure 4A). Use the
supplied Spacer Plates, (Figure 4B), to fill the gap between the Mounting Bracket and the factory steel
washer. Install the Spacer Plate between the steel body mount washer and the Bracket, (Figures 4A,
4B & 5).
VERY IMPORTANT! There are several different designs, (depending on model and year), for
the factory steel body mount bracket welded onto the side of the frame channel, (Figures 1 &
4A). If necessary, the Front and Rear Mounting Brackets can be switched, driver side to
passenger side, to provide additional clearance between the gussets on the Mounting Brackets
and the factory steel body mount bracket. To prevent unnecessary noise, adjust the position
of all Mounting Brackets so that once tightened, the Mounting Brackets cannot come in
contact with the factory steel body mount bracket.
5. With assistance, position the Sidebar up to the (3) loose Mounting Brackets. Attach the Sidebar to the
front and rear Mounting Brackets with the included (2) 1/2” x 2” Hex Bolts, (2) 1/2” Flat Washers and (2)
1/2” Lock Washers, (Figures 2 & 5). Do not tighten hardware at this time.
6. Attach the center Mounting Bracket to the Sidebar with the included (1) 10-1.50mm x 25mm Hex Bolt,
(1) 10mm Flat Washer and (1) 10mm Lock Washer, (Figure 3). Do not tighten hardware at this time.
7. Level and adjust the Sidebar, tighten all hardware and check all mounting locations for clearance
between factory steel body mount brackets and Mounting Brackets. Once satisfied with fit, tighten all
hardware.
8. Repeat Steps 1 - 7 for passenger Sidebar installation.
9. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a
protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could
damage the finish.
For stainless steel: Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish. Mild
soap may be used also to clean the Sidebar.
For gloss black finishes: Mild soap may be used to clean the Sidebar.
